WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Transport Group presents the New York premiere of the musical See Rock City & Other Destinations, featuring music by Brad Alexander, with book and lyrics by Adam Mathias. Jack Cummings III directs.

This contemporary pop-rock musical road trip ventures to tourist destinations across America, mapping out stories of sightseers in search of fellow travelers: a wanderer believes his destiny is written on rooftops along the North Carolina interstate; a young man yearns to connect with intelligent life in Roswell, New Mexico; a woman at the Alamo steps out of the shadow of her past to take a chance on love; estranged sisters cruise to Glacier Bay to scatter their father's ashes; high school boys face unexpected fears in a Coney Island spook house; and a terrified bride-to-be ponders taking the leap...over Niagara Falls. See Rock City & Other Destinations creates a vivid travelogue of moving characters and connections missed and made along the way.

The musical is the winner of the 2008 Richard Rodgers Award and the 2007 Jerry Bock Award.
